Teletubby 131,660 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) She added a word in the song which I thought was always amazing "Gravity can't begin To pull me back to the ground" listen to the demo, she added "again" which is mindblowing. She also took the bridge out and just did the opera party demo:  he also revealed that 2nd verse of Rihannaâs SOS are '80s song titles  Edited 7 hours ago by Teletubby 1 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 22,950 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago She probably gets credits on all her songs this way lol, by adding a word or adding harmonies (which singers can get writing credits for, yup). Yet her fans still believe she writes, composes, produces all her songs herself and is some kind of music genius  10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracomalfoy 610 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago that demo is so 2000s, so nostalgic Chromatic, Chromatic, put your hands all over my colors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMs love to pretend everyone's calling Bey a musical genius so they can drag her but everyone knows she's mostly a curator/producer who excels at performing. 9 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasagna 2,359 Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago i really dont care if she writes her own music. her music is stellar and theres still absolutely a skill in selecting the countless incredible songs she has in her discography. nobody really says anything about (to name a few) celine dion, britney, cher, even kylie to an extent not writing the majority of their discography so i've never understood why beyonces the outlier frankly id appreciate if sometimes singers didnt write their own stuff Spoiler don't put me in the basement when I want the penthouse of your heart comes to mind  human turd 5 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliviaRodrigoStan 3,182 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Queen of writing! . It's literally the same thing Madonna did with "Express Yourself", and also what Gaga did on "Till It Happens To You", it's unfortunately common practice . I do think it's stupid to keep doing it at this point. But I understand the reasoning behind it: the recording artist gets writing credits, and the original writer gets... to have their song platformed by a bigger artist, which will result in more money for them through royalties, etc, so I guess everyone wins . It is goofy though. Specially for artists like Beyoncé whom everyone already knows, is not a songwriter, and doesn't write her music. Which is perfectly valid, Maria Callas was not a songwriter, and nobody would ever doubt her as an artist. Being just a performer and an interpreter, is ok. I do think writing your own music adds value and personality to your work, but you can still be an outstanding entertainer, or even a great artist, by just being a remarkable performer. I think Beyoncé's vocal skills are enough to consider her a good artist, she doesn't need to pretend that she writes her song anymore, but whatever, it's her career, not mine, lol. HEART OF EVER-FROST Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga gave herself writing credits for sour candy, sinners prayer, and perfect illusion even though she provided little to no changes to the songs and we know this from the demos. hell, Gaga even has writing credits on her covers from harlequinn. she was a part of the songwriting process and contributed to it, even if it was miniscule so she deserves credit. beyonces no different  human turd 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanDante 5,793 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Why is he praising her like this for adding the word 'again'? because it fcuking rhymes??? I can't I'm not very good with Social Mediaá”áŽč 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALGAYDO 29,086 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Itâs funny cause thereâs some artists like Britney who are known to add/change whole ass lines of their songs without asking for writing credits, and then thereâs artists like Beyonce lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reject False Icons 4,565 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) its really interesting how I still had no idea how every artist does things differently and how A&R are the link between musicians who compose the music and the ones who perform it, but the performers don't just go picking for songs like fruits to the market, they even have a person who picks the songs for them, do performers even have an idea of the concept of the album they have to make or even the labels and their team tells them how it should be, it's really curious, I'd like to know other cases also that explains how many artists are not that close to their catalogue and they sell it or they legally don't have much ownership of their music and they don't care to negociate their contracts  Edited 3 hours ago by Reject False Icons Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
